Celtic up to six defeats in ten matches and nothing is improving. This week Martin O'Neill put the focus on time needed for Celtic's summer signings to settle when judging this team. That didn't seem to be an issue for Falkirk and their 17 new additions today.

The murder MI5 wants to hide. Almost 30 years after Sean Brown was kidnapped from a football club, British intelligence is still censoring files that could help solve his murder👇 declassifieduk.org/the-murde…

"The willingness of BBC NI to indulge the nonsensical claim about Provisional IRA feelings about the Garvaghy Road – purportedly emanating from the observations of a solitary PSNI officer – and to frame programme narratives around internal unionist discussions about how to punish Michelle O’Neill, serve only to underline the scale of the cultural problem that prevails within BBC NI."

The Economic Forum tomorrow matters to the people of NI. That we won't be represented at a major UK conference to support NI because of the DUP's internal wranglings is not only disgraceful, but self-defeating, self-harming and short-sighted.

Relieved for constituents on the Lower Ormeau Rd- and frankly most people in this city - that sense has prevailed and a parade will not proceed over the bridge. But it begs the question: why in God's name couldn't the Parades Commssion apply the same basic logic on Drumcree?

Thinking today of the Brown family. Wrote this last year. To continue subjecting victims and survivors in Northern Ireland to further suffering through prolonged and arduous legal challenges is cruel, callous and utterly shameful. thejournal.ie/readme/bridie-…
